FC Bayern: Oliver Kahn confirms farewell to Niklas Süle

Niklas Süle will leave FC Bayern in the summer. FCB CEO Oliver Kahn confirmed during a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, which includes GOAL and SPOX previously reported: Süle will not extend his expiring contract at Säbener Straße.

“He didn’t accept our offer,” said Kahn. “We have a certain responsibility for the offers we make. It’s normal that you don’t always come together in this business.” This development has become apparent “over the past few days”. FCB’s offer was “very, very good”.

FC Bayern: Where is Niklas Süle going?

Now it is necessary to decide how Süle’s departure can be compensated. Kahn said: We have a lot of options when it comes to the central defender position. Believe me: Of course we deal with players. But we have Hernandez, Pavard, an excellent central defender in Upamecano, we have Nianzou. There are many opportunities. But of course FC Bayern always have to deal with players when they leave.”

Where Süle is headed is still open. The national player is traded as a successor, especially at Chelsea and FC Barcelona. The Premier League has been his dream destination for some time.

After David Alaba, Jerome Boateng and Javi Martinez, Süle is the fourth free transfer within a year from Munich. On the other hand, Bayern could also strengthen with a free player in the summer: According to information from GOAL and SPOX Chelsea’s Andreas Christensen, who has already played for Gladbach in the Bundesliga, is a transfer candidate at FCB for the summer.
